Well, hello, ladies, gentlemen, and everyone listening in, welcome one and all to this newest edition of the VORW International Podcast, the late March edition, 2025.

Evidently, I hoped for it to have been the early March edition, but, well, life has a way of doing what it does,

and I suppose, number one, I thank you all for your patience, and quite frankly, for your restraint.

And I mean that.

I'm not even saying that in some sort of facetious or demeaning way.

And I apologize for the delay, but I still got the show out in the month of March, at least.

So that doesn't really count for much,

but perhaps it counts for a little bit of a little something. You know, my energy level and all

of that, it's just, could be better, and I just do what I can. And I still wanted to do the

show, of course, and I'm just, I'm glad I was able to get this out at the end of the day.

For those of you who have been long-time listeners, I mean, you should have seen how it was back in 2014.

I was pumping out a show every single day. I don't know how I did it. I still, it remains a mystery to me, but I did.

And, uh, anyway, still glad to be here at the microphone and get programs out.

Even, I suppose, as the saying goes, better late than never.

Well, for those of you, as is tradition, who are checking the program out on YouTube,

I would like for you to direct your attention to the description real quick.

We have two pieces of fan art featured in the broadcast tonight.

The first is a piece of pixel art going out to an anonymous listener,

and the second piece of fan art is a collage of sorts.

Goes out to a listener who'd like to be referred to as Weather Report 2 on Instagram.

That's Weather Report 2 on Instagram.

If you are feeling artistically inclined and would like to make a piece of fan art,
